Chrysalis House is a safe and secure 25-bed shelter in Western Ottawa. It is a place where any self identified woman or gender diverse individual over the age of 16 can go to protect themselves and their dependants from violence and abuse. In this supportive environment, an individual can focus on their personal needs and choices, as well as on their dependants’ needs. The VAW Counselling Program provides individual and group counseling to women aged 16 years or older who identify themselves as having been sexually, physically or emotionally abused by their partners or significant others (could be a caregiver or other immediate family/household member)
